smoothly as possible from source to
destination by eliminating waste in
process steps and by managing
bottlenecks

Certification for Lean (ISO 18404)
14
*The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the an independent, non-governmental international organization
that sets global standards in products, managing processes, delivering a service or supplying materials.
“Candidates will be expected to demonstrate that they have
an adequate level of competence, an amalgamation of
education, training, skills and experience necessary to fulfil
their roles”

17. Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ISO 18404?
The ISO have released a framework for Lean and
Six Sigma Capability, the 'ISO 18404(2015) for
individuals'. It is a recognition of competency
(skills and abilities).
What levels of Competence are there?
There are three roles for Lean: Practitioner(13
competencies), Leader(18 competencies) and
Expert. Kinetik provides support for Practitioner
and Leader.
What happens when the individual leaves the
organisation?
The certification is portable; it can be moved from
organisation to organisation, and so a long-term
investment for the individual and for your sector as
a whole.
What is difference about this certificate
compared to other certification bodies?
The ISO is based on competence level, not ‘book
knowledge’ or on passing an exam.
Is there a renewal process?
There is annual renewal: each person will need
to “Prepare a portfolio of evidence of work
experience” which will be required for
confirmation.
What commitment will an organisation need to
make towards gaining this competency?
Your organisation will need to support Lean Project
implementation including providing sponsors and
champions. Staff who meet the competency will need
to keep an ongoing record of their skills and
experience. You will need a process to monitor and
measure improvement from Lean.
Can Kinetik deliver its support service virtually?
Yes we can. We have a virtual learning platform
and make significant use of Zoom/Microsoft
Teams, Miro and other cloud based technologies
to deliver a fully virtual service if required.
